<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.appannie.com/">App Annie</a> acquired Distimo, which is a mobile analytics company. Through the acquisition, App Annie plans to accelerate its product roadmap and continue developing its platform for analyzing the mobile app ecosystem. Together with Distimo, there are now almost 600,000 apps relying on App Annie&#39;s platform and almost 270,000 registered business users.</p>
<p>Distimo&rsquo;s founders will take on key roles within App Annie&rsquo;s team as part of the acquisition, while the rest of the team will be integrated into App Annie&rsquo;s global offices. Moreover, Distimo&rsquo;s Netherlands headquarters will become App Annie&rsquo;s European R&amp;D center. According to Distimo&#39;s blog, the company will be working with App Annie to integrate all of its best features into the App Annie platform.</p>
<p>&quot;When this is complete, we will start a smooth migration process so that all of the data you hold with Distimo is seamlessly accessible on App Annie,&quot; the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.distimo.com/blog/2014_05_distimo-joins-the-app-annie-team/">blog post states</a>. &quot;We will keep all Distimo users and customers regularly updated.&quot;</p>
<p>Aside from the acquisition, App Annie raised a $17 million round of funding from its existing investors IDG Capital Partners, Greycoft Partners and Seqoia Capital. The new funding brings App Annie&rsquo;s total money raised to $39 million, which is being used to fund the Distimo acquisition as well as other initiatives, like product development, marketing and market development.</p>
<p>&quot;We started this company during the app ecosystem&#39;s infancy and our mission has always been to provide our users and customers with the best metrics and insights to run their app business,&quot; said Bertrand Schmitt, CEO of App Annie. &quot;Having been a part of the mobile app ecosystem since its inception, this acquisition represents a major milestone in App Annie&#39;s growth, and it allows us to accelerate our product roadmap. We look forward to integrating the talented Distimo team and are excited about what they can achieve within the App Annie fold.&quot;</p>

<br /><br />
The Distimo API provides access to information including downloads, one-off and in-app revenue, as well as rankings and reviews for the major app stores. Developers can see their performance by day, week month or quarter on the Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon Appstore, Samsung Apps, Apple Mac Store, Windows Phone Marketplace, Windows Store, BlackBerry World, and Nokia Ovi Store. The API can be accessed through any programming language and data can be exported in CSV and JSON.
<br /><br />
The public release of the Distimo API will provide actionable market data and enable organizations to make better informed business decisions about their apps &ndash; from analytics and market trends to lead generation. Distimo indicated that many of the companies who have had early access to the API &ndash; including game developer Backflip Studios, publishing house Gannett, fitness app Runtastic, and ZeptoLab, makes of the popular Cut the Rope game &ndash; have already seen the benefits first hand.
<br /><br />
&ldquo;The open availability of the Distimo API makes it easy for us to have effortless access to app store market data, which is otherwise not easily discoverable,&rdquo; stated Joe Lazarus, Chief Marketing Officer at Backflip Studios, the game developer behind DragonVale, Paper Toss, Ninjump, and others. &ldquo;Our decision to integrate Distimo&rsquo;s app store data helps us make data-driven decisions for all of the apps in our portfolio.&rdquo;

<br /><br />
Distimo App Trends shows daily trend data for the past two weeks, pulling information from its Distimo AppIQ product, which utilizes a large set of data (over three billion download transactions per quarter) in order to estimate the daily downloads and revenues for individual apps. Distimo suggests that its app data is statistically sound - 54 percent of apps are estimated with a margin of error below three percent, and 95 percent are estimated with a margin of error below 10 percent.
<br /><br />
While reviewers won&rsquo;t see the actual number of downloads or amount of revenue for apps (a paid Distimo account is required for that), the App Trends feature is usefu in understand what apps are trending and the velocity of their popularity, as well as an opportunity to dig into specific categories (and countries) with relative ease.</p>

<p><img src="http://www.websitemagazine.com/images/blog/distimo.png" style="float:left;margin:10px;" height="75" width="75" alt="" /><b>Apps are a hot-ticket
item these days, and as with any booming, young industry, there is a lot of
room for improvement. Many developers have found themselves creating applications
and then selling them into multiple app stores. But this isn&rsquo;t always
the most efficient way to promote one&rsquo;s work.</b></p>
<p>Often, these apps can go overlooked by consumers simply because they didn&#39;t know where to look, or weren&#39;t aware of their availability.<b><br /></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is an issue that app store
analytics company <b><a target="_blank" href="http://www.distimo.com/">Distimo</a></b> has addressed with its latest product AppLink, a service
that developers can use to create short URLs for their applications that takes
users to landing pages built specifically for the app. These links can be
tweeted, posted on Facebook and used in online and/or print marketing
campaigns, and, of course, they can provide valuable insights on the app&rsquo;s
distribution.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Developers can also use the service to see how many consumers
want their apps to appear on a platform that currently doesn&rsquo;t support it. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The app&rsquo;s landing page features an app screenshot,
description, price information and links to the various platforms on which it
is available. From here, visitors can also click a button to have the link
emailed to them or scan a QR code, use Facebook and Twitter buttons to share it
with their social media friends and use the appropriate links to find the app
in the user&rsquo;s relevant app store.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Distimo is offering AppLink free of charge and uses data
already found in app stores to automatically create the landing pages, so users
don&rsquo;t have to upload anything (theoretically). Plus, it integrates right into
the <a target="_blank" href="http://monitor.distimo.com/">Distimo Monitor</a> service.</p>
